How to post images on the forum using flickr

[experim3ntal]

I also just canned my photo bucket account. I was a member since 2008 when it actually worked well for forums. No longer the case.

I read some how to on recovering your hostage photos from photo bucket. It suggested save your image links as text files to your desktop using a text converter, then trick your command prompt to extract the images by searching your hard drive/desktop for photo bucket...

I got as far as downloading the url's as text files to my desk top.

Can anyone help out with this?

Cheers

Is flickr the new best most reliable place to host images?

Flickr has been the most reliable place to host images for the last decade or so.

^^ The photobucket thread (too lazy to search for it) has the chrome plug-in download near the very end of the thread.

Thanks for the info to help out us tech-tards. I'm sure a lot of us were affected by the photobucket scam. I heard something about a hyperlink or something that you can use to make photobucket pics work. Happen to know about that?

Agent, you forgot the old fashioned way!

Best thing to do if it's a tech post is to upload them directly to r3v (informational threads/posts). Sorry, no time for screenshots and paint, but if you hit the "go advanced" button in the reply box, it will take you to another screen with more options.

At the top of the reply box, you will see a paperclip icon. Hit that and it will allow you to upload pic(s) via a popup. Once they load, close the popup window, then hit the paperclip icon again and you will have options to choose which pic(s) you want to post.

Why did photobucket take a dump on our images?
